The Best David Goggins Quotes About Overcoming Obstacles!

The scars on our brains are a reminder that our past is real BUT it’s up to us to grind those scars down into a fine powder until they no longer affect the outcome of our life.

There are times when you are being judged or held to a different standard than others for any number of reasons. This is when you take it upon yourself to be the baddest mf’er to have ever done it! Whatever “it” is for you! If they dislike you, make them dislike you even more by being the best!

Don’t waste so much time overthinking the process! In most areas of our life, we all have enough sense to know what needs to be done. The problem is that we act ignorant about it as it allows us to prolong the start of the process! Get out of your head and get to work!

It is critical that you always have goals in front of you so that the negative things that will happen to you don’t derail you and your plans. Make sure that you are the only one who owns real estate in your mind!

When you dream big, you must know that it will entail you falling off the horse many times along the journey. When your mind is telling you to quit and give up, remember all the repetition and sacrifice made along the way. Sometimes the only thing we can do is sack it the fuck up and press on!

When backed into a corner with no other answers, sometimes the best answer is to say "fuck it" and go for broke. Sometimes saying “fuck it” at the right time can be a very powerful thing. It tells your mind that you are willing to do whatever it takes to get to the other side.

Have the courage to build yourself up from the ground up. If you are born thinking that you are nothing or worthless, that’s the absolute perfect start! Learn to flip that shit to work to your advantage. Some of the best fuel in the world is having the underdog mentality.

We must live our lives to a higher standard. The standard we set for ourselves must make us feel uncomfortable. If the standard you set for yourself allows you to feel comfortable, you must re-evaluate the bar you set for yourself.

The key is to quiet your mind while in mental hell and embrace whatever obstacle is in front of you with open arms. We must learn to conserve energy and to control the emotional and mental stresses of our setbacks.

The biggest thing I’m trying to find more of myself. The only way I can find more is to silence the world out as much as I can because it’s getting busier every day, it’s getting faster and the faster it gets the more you are missing who the fuck you are.

Human beings change through study, habit, and stories. Through my story you will learn what the body and mind are capable of when they’re driven to maximum capacity, and how to get there. Because when you’re driven, whatever is in front of you, whether it’s racism, sexism, injuries, divorce, depression, obesity, tragedy, or poverty, becomes fuel for your metamorphosis.

Very few people know how the bottom feels, but I do. It’s like quicksand. It grabs you, sucks you under, and won’t let go. When life is like that it’s easy to drift and continue to make the same comfortable choices that are killing you, over and over again.

In trying to achieve our full potential, we are going to always come up against at least one hurdle. That one hurdle is yourself. You can’t hide from that motherfucker! In life, we are always in this tug of war between knowing what we should do and doing what we want to do.

Thank you so much for stopping by...

Hi! I am Heather. A mother of two and wife of 27 years to my best friend. After our kids left home, I began digging deep to learn more about myself and about my lifelong partner. This journey helped us to pay off over $50,000 worth of debt in only six months, kick my twenty-something year relationship with smoking, and get in touch with my dreams. This experience prompted Rob and me to start this site, Empty Nestin' in hopes of helping others navigate through this exciting time of being empty nesters.
